Hi there 👋🏼 I'm a photographer from Sydney. As my profile says, you'll mostly find landscapes and travel pictures here, but I happily dabble in anything: street, wildlife, portraits, art nudes. Why tie yourself down?

Sunset at The Rock Lookout in Mulgoa, NSW. One of the benefits of living at the foot of the Blue Mountains is being able to zip down to this spot when the light is good

The Nepean river cuts through a densely forested gorge during twilight. The sky displays soft blue and pink hues with wispy clouds, while dark green trees cover the steep hillsides on both sides of the reflective water below.

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"

Been busy with life, but I managed to sneak out yesterday and catch the sunset in my local neighbourhood.

#sunset #landscapephotography #localphotographer
A steel electrical transmission tower with multiple power lines stretches against a soft sky during golden hour. The scene features warm peachy-pink and blue-gray tones with wispy clouds, creating a serene atmospheric mood as geometric power lines contrast with the organic cloud formations. Power lines stretch diagonally across a deep blue twilight sky with birds flying in a V. A bright moon or light appears in the upper right against the gradient blue-to-purple evening sky. Steel transmission towers rise against a vibrant sunset sky painted in blues and purples. Power lines create geometric patterns while silhouetted trees frame the bottom of the rural landscape scene.

We all worry that Meta and the other tech firms know too much about us… and then they ask a childless middle aged man if he’s interested in necklaces and parenting 🤷

Been unhappy with the how few Milky Way shots I've managed so far this season. I might have to go for a road trip next weekend

I've seen some great aurora photos from the solar storm on the weekend, but I can't help but think that people were rushing their edits out the door: please level your photos! Once I've seen a slanted horizon, I can't actually see the subject of your image 🙃

What a great night for Aurora chasers last night! It was strong enough to see by naked eye in the Blue Mountains at 33°S.

The autumn leaves of the Blue Mountains are falling, and soon it will be winter. The Everglades Gardens in Leura.

A baby arctic fox up close for your timeline.
A young arctic fox with brown fur is laying in a field of green grass with volcanic rock in the distance. His head is perked up and looking toward me/the camera.

Native Australian plants don't change colour for autumn. It's common to travel into the Blue Mountains to see the season change.

Looking to my catalog for inspiration for a shoot in Kirribilli this evening. I don't have many shots, which is kind of liberating! Here's a nice bit of afternoon light on the ferris wheel at Luna Park

Can everybody hurry up and support JPEG XL? It compresses amazingly, supports HDR, and I’m now doing all my exports from Lightroom in it.

At least I can add photos to my iCloud account 🙄
